Abstract

Selon l'invention, un dispositif utilisateur effectue un ensemble de mesures à une fréquence spécifiée lorsque le dispositif utilisateur est dans un mode de réception discontinue (DRX), et détermine un état de signal d'un signal reçu en provenance d'une cellule de desserte. Le dispositif utilisateur ajuste la fréquence spécifiée sur la base de l'état de signal. La réduction de la fréquence peut réduire un appel de courant par le dispositif utilisateur lorsque le dispositif utilisateur est dans le mode DRX.
